AIM DISCONNECTS

[Christopher Marlow]

Morning David,

I am connected to the internet with CABLE 1 down 256 up. The only firewall I have on here is WIN XP'S... that's the only thing I use...

The thing you said about changing IP's, that's the thing... My mother can be using PIDGIN on her XP LOG ON and it will say shes been online for 9 hours blah blah min but go back over to me and I have my own name on my buddylist and I will notice it says I've only been on for 3 hours and so and so min.

I am using Pidgin 2.5.8

And the Debug log, I am not sure I never have opened that 

Thanks,

What does Pidgin's debug log say is the reason for the disconnection?

How are you connected to the internet?  (Disconnections after a period 
are often due to firewalls and network address translators timing out 
the outbound connection and deleting information necessary to handle 
responses.  Some consumer ISPs gratuitously change IP addresses 
periodically.)

How does the official client behave on your system.

What version of Pidgin are you using?

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
